Dump truck tips over at John Glenn Blvd. and Buckley Road, Clay

Clay, NY -- A dump truck carrying waste from pavement excavation overturned this morning at John Glenn Boulevard and Buckley Road, sending its driver to the hospital.

The accident happened shortly before 8:44 a.m, Onondaga County Sheriff's deputies said. The truck was rounding the turn from John Glenn Boulevard onto Buckley Road when it fell over onto the driver's side. Deputies said they weren't sure whether the truck's load shifted or something else cause it to tip over.

The driver was taken to St. Joseph's Hospital Health Center for treatment of what appeared to be non-life-threatening injuries, deputies said. They withheld the driver's name, citing the ongoing investigation of the accident.

The truck belongs to Riccelli Enterprises. A Riccelli crew arrived with a loader shortly before 9:30 a.m to scoop up the debris. A tow truck was on its way to right the dump truck and remove it from the intersection.

The truck and its load fell in a median in the intersection and traffic was not affected.
